We all have choices everyday and these choices many times will determine how our days go. If we wake up each morning dwelling on all of the negatives in the world chances are we’re not going to have a very happy day. We all need some balance in our lives. When we wake up, we have a choice to make, are we going to dread the day or are we going to conquer the day. Yes, it is a choice to be happy. You will find from the moment you wake, if you decide to be happy and have a good positive attitude you are more likely to have a successful happy day. If you constantly allow negative situations to overtake your thoughts it will inevitably take over your life. Days can turn into weeks, weeks into months and months into years.
People are not attracted to a miserable person, rather they go towards positivity including friends, family, coworkers your boss or a customer. No one wants to constantly hear what can’t happen they want a solution to what is possible, what will fix things. So my advice is when you wake up, no matter what, choose to be happy and positive and I promise, you’ll see your life move in a positive happy direction. 🤗🤗🤗J.Goodrich
Great points Christopher. I agree being happy - but not accepting the negativity around us is key. It is a tough balance but there is still enough Light around to appreciate and be happy about, such as the best parts of nature, animals, the good in people, beauty etc.
I can't pretend everything is fine while war-mongers, genociders, psychotics, child sacrifice and rape, human trafficking, total control through Ai and Palantir and ritual mass murders by the millions destroy humanity. Eliminating these and those causing them (from power) will make me happy!
I know you, and us, are nobly and energetically trying to find a way which we of good spirit can be more free and not controlled by the Psychotics!
1. Every era has its psychotic people doing psychotic things.
2. This applies to the past, present, AND FUTURE. In other words, I am not going to rid of psychotics.
3. I can make a difference, perhaps even a great difference if I work really hard and get some luck along the way. But I can only do what I can do.
4. The psychotics don’t care if I am happy or not. In fact, they prefer me to be unhappy, and thus an easier target.
5. I am not made more effective in this fight by being unhappy. Indeed, I am rendered less effective. Being unhappy does not defeat the enemy.
6. Therefore, I might as well be happy, even as I fight.
This does not mean that I am one of those people for whom happiness comes easy. There are some people who seem almost preternaturally cheerful, like it is some sort of neurochemical thing. I am not one of them. I get frustrated, enraged, frightened, etc. about all this stuff too. But I am also logical enough to know that it does me no good, and to know that it does the movement no good. I strongly believe I am correct about that, so I want to pass the knowledge on to the rest of us!
Plus, I love—and thus want to really enjoy—my precious life.
Aristotle said, “He is happy who lives in accordance with complete virtue and is sufficiently equipped with external goods, not for some chance period but throughout a complete life.” (Nicomachean Ethics, 1101a10)
Years back, I interpreted Aristotle’s quote incorrectly that to be happy we need to live a virtuous life, volunteering here, there and everywhere. And I remember chatting with a friend who volunteered everywhere too, and we concluded that this isn’t leading to happiness. Is happiness fleeting, then?
But then I discovered Viktor Frankl, who blew me away when he said, “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” For a man who suffered at the hands of the Nazis, that’s an incredible perspective.
We can count our blessings or we can count our woes – it’s our choice. “Choose wisely, my friends.”
I'm not saying lower expectations but in the vast scale of things much that we just accept and often don't even notice are reasons one should bubble over with happiness and for which we need be extremely grateful.
Just for example, I woke up this morning, aches and pains yes, but I woke up.
Entirely agree. It is easy to lose this perspective, but we should try to regain it as much as we can. My wife and I printed out a picture that symbolizes perspective (a renaissance era perspective drawing) to remind us of this.
So yeah, perspective, and also just enjoying the little things. Like the light rain that is falling beside me as I type this in my gazebo.
I feel like happiness is momentary and for me anyways is there when circumstances are good for me, for those I care abt. Like situational. And if I’m struggling, I hv found who to talk to, however I def don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade, as they say. Also, it’s easy to compare one’s burdens, excitements with others…feel like I’m complaining.
My wife is reading a book called “Rewiring Your Brain” or something like that. I think there is a lot to be gained by talking with others, but sometimes, we need to figure out what negative patterns we’re engaged in and try to “rewire” those. It’s always a work in progress, but I like to try to figure out my bad thought loops and try to escape those if I can.
It’s a balance, right. Easy to go to extremes in my thoughts and then actions. Want people to be ok. Want ti fix things. Want justice. Want to understand. Want to be understood. Want to help. The advocate. Then, I’ll be happy. Makes my heart happy and heal. This is me. From what I have lost. Many have told me I am the patient, encourager, kind person. Hv to be that with myself more.
Balance is needed, for sure. I know someone who is in therapy for being too much of a people pleaser. One of the nicest people I know…but she never leaves any space for herself or her needs. It felt to her her whole life that she was doing the “right” thing, but it was out of balance, because she left nothing for herself. It is good to take care of others, but ya gotta take care of you, too.
For her, I think it was more like wanting to make sure people are happy, putting her needs completely aside, etc. Though I am not actually in her therapy sessions 🤣
I actually do feel some of that myself. I have a strong impulse to want to make sure everyone in the room is doing okay…
I have done the same. Still do. It’s easier to help others. For me. Forget about myself. Focus on others. And again, there’s that balance. Thinking abt what I need, especially doing this alone (without my buddy, husband here), was so hard, still hard, makes my needs seem so big, scary.
I was talking with my wife about this recently. I was saying that I thought she would have an easier time moving on without me than the reverse. I am reasonably independent, but I think she is a bit more so. The degree to which we become wrapped up in our spouse in life does, I assume, impact how hard it is for us to move on.
But the thing is, I think they want us to move on. I would understand my wife missing me, but I would not want her to pine away in grief or forget herself. I know it can be hard. But I think the departed want us to be happy, and the last thing they would want is for us to be stuck in a permanent grief loop. Once they’re gone, we only have so much time left; I feel like they would not want us to waste a precious moment of it.
I have been so lucky not to have had to face such a thing in my life, so I want to be cautious about the certitude of my statements. But that is my strong suspicion.
I have some really good news on the Community Building “ front. My husband and I attend the monthly City Council meetings, although I admit we have missed the last few for various reasons. I was growing weary of attending because nothing was ever discussed, even after I made an impassioned plea, to work toward community building. But, we did attend last week. We have a new Mayor and 2 new council members! The new council members are people who I knew, if only by their regular attendance and by having brief discussions with them after meetings. Anyway, I again made an impassioned plea to try to bring people together in these troubling times. The mayor responded that creating a community of varied and like minded people was close to his heart. After the meeting one of the new council members let us know that it had been on their agenda to work on creating events to bring people together to get to know one another! She said she would need help. So myself and another attended both offered our help in whatever way she needed. I’ve not heard from her yet, but if I don’t in the next few weeks I’ll reach out to her. I’ve been looking for ideas that would bring people out here together. If you, Christopher, or any of your supporters have any ideas I would love to hear them. I’m praying over this endeavor🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I tend to be happy, but not satisfied. There's work to do on Our planet! Haha! Looking forward to being happy AND satisfied! And so I work to share awareness of the problem and a solution We can implement.
I don’t think we will be satisfied in our lifetimes. So I think we should adopt a whole new way of looking at it. Something that connotes, and accepts, constant motion with no resolution. A commitment to a long-term project. Something like…
We do not plant the flag; we only carry it to the next hill.
I keep saying, get free energy tech out and in 10 years, We will be living in abundance without the moneyed psychopaths in control. Haha! That is My aim!
I know very little of that approach. I know far more about electrogravitics, because My dad worked on it with T. Townsend Brown, and I did deep dives into anything I could find on it.
The late Dr. Paul A. LaViolette’s work, Secrets of Antigravity Propulsion, was immensely helpful.
100% of the cost of everything is energy. The resources sit here freely, but it takes energy to put them into useful configuration.
Also, consider, as money accounts for the energy We add into a system, free energy makes that accounting rather pointless.
Add free energy and the costs will start dropping as the cost of energy is removed, and eventually - I estimate in 10 years or so - it will be more energy than it's worth to collect the penny for [whatever].

Fully understandable and makes good sense!
Unfortunately it seems to me the Psychotics are close to moving to TOTAL CONTROL AND MASS GENOCIDE so our time of being "free" is coming to an end!
Maybe, though I do not believe that is a fair accompli.
But think of it this way—if it is, then being unhappy STILL won’t stop it! So we fight like happy tigers until the end.
That's the spirit!
Great topic!

Frankl’s quote had a strong impact on me too. For one thing, it convinced me that free will is truly real and free!
I'm not saying lower expectations but in the vast scale of things much that we just accept and often don't even notice are reasons one should bubble over with happiness and for which we need be extremely grateful.
Just for example, I woke up this morning, aches and pains yes, but I woke up.
A lot of folks didn't.

We are born happy. No need to chase it down.
Are you a generally happy person?
So it’s good to be happy but know that it is fleeting and I know I can have joy that stays. In Him, who transcends my life. My circumstances.
I also try to claim my name, which means Father’s Joy. And my middle name is Joy. Abba = Father. Gail = Joy.
I wish you success in this, Abigail.

I feel for her. Wanting to ppl to agree w her. Or be ok w her decisions. At least that’s what has happened to me. Still work thru

My focus was on him and his needs, that i didn’t realize how much i neglected my health.
Have to make myself want to take care of my needs. At times.

How does free energy equate to not having to use our energy and trade it for money?
100% of the cost of everything is energy. The resources sit here freely, but it takes energy to put them into useful configuration.
Also, consider, as money accounts for the energy We add into a system, free energy makes that accounting rather pointless.
Add free energy and the costs will start dropping as the cost of energy is removed, and eventually - I estimate in 10 years or so - it will be more energy than it's worth to collect the penny for [whatever].
